the video is here: http://www.freedesktop.org/~davidr/xgl-demo1.xvid.avi (60 M)
and on my server at work (if all else fails look under your nose) I can shove it on a cd if anyone desires. Clarification: this is a video demo of the XGL X server, a fancy 3d x server with all sorts of cool effects. IIRC novell are heavily involved (the demo certainly features their name on the desktop). I played the video during the break at the last (February) St Albans CLUG session. Clarification2: the kororaa live cd that Steve has downloaded is a live-cd version of the desktop, for those who want to play. It is available here: http://getkororaa.com/ or presumably by asking Steve or me nicely accompanied by usual bribes :-), And Jim: yes the video window(s) update as they are being moved around, including around corners onto the other surface of the cube.
